Hello! :D

I have been massing my money for a solid year and approachin my goal of 20k. I have my eyes set on a 2013 SHO with Perf. PKG and all the other goodies. Basically a fully loaded all Black Ford SHO. I've had my eyes on this thing for months... I must be lucky because I have found 2 of the exact same car down to the paint and they have been sitting on the lot for months... I pray to God I get my car sold so I reach my 20k goal, currently I am at 14k, but I will have close to 16k without  the car at the rate I can save money.

I had a quick question...

Any of you guys 6ft and up? I would really like to know if the car feels big enough for you. I can't stop thinking about the cockpit... I tested the 2010 and it felt a little small. How do you guys think a fully loaded 2013 model would be for a tall guy like me?

Hang in there, you will be united with the SHO of your dreams soon!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I'm 6'1", 210. Personally I would prefer the seat to go down lower. Also my right knee hits the console in a weird spot.  I have the seat automatically adjust back as far as it will go so getting in and out isn't an issue for me. These are really just observations rather than complaints though.

Good luck in your endeavors.

I am 6 foot and 235 and have on issues what so ever,there is memory seats and remote memory seats which help,to keep in mind an important feature to utilize would be the easy entry/exit function which helps in many ways for access getting in and out of your vehicle,also have a 13 PP sho,any questions you may have please feel free to ask,Z.

6'2" 215 here and I'm fairly comfortable even on long excursions. My only issue is not having a dead pedal.
